Ladybugs are small, colorful insects related to beetles, measuring no more than about one centimeter in length. Around 160
types of ladybugs are known to exist in Japan. The most familiar species are the seven-spotted ladybug, with its pattern of
seven black spots on a red background, and the common ladybug, whose patterns vary widely. Since these insects are carni-
vores that prey on aphids and spider mites, they are often utilized to eliminate pests. After developing from eggs through the
larval and pupal stages into adult insects, seven-spotted ladybugs will mate, after which the female lays dozens of eggs. The
seven-spotted ladybug also is know for playing dead and emitting a yellow secretion when subjected to physical stress.
